Your iPhone is dehydrated. Regardless of how much you feed it (charge it), it cannot process the food (power) without hydration. It's like being shipwrecked with plenty of food and no water...

Just submerge your phone in a glass of water for an hour or two and it will be good to go for another year. You know how water is an excellent conductor of electricity? Sometimes the insides of iPhones dry up (like an older woman, such as Mingg), and need to be rehydrated. This allows them to properly conduct the electricity inside them to fully power the circuit board.

selfiejesusit died, and so i put it on an iHome dock. it started out as charging, but now it won't even show the need to charge screen, even if i press and hold the lock screen.

help.

Maybe there is dust or water in the charging port? What model do you have? I just had a problem with my 5 where it wouldn't charge unless I put the charger a certain direction. Try messing with the wire to get it to charge then keep it in that position with something heavy. You can try keyboard cleaner (duster) to make sure no dust got in the port. Do you have insurance? I had insurance and had the phone for 2 years so I just got a replacement instead of upgrading. How close is the closest apple store?
